A group named Restore Hetch Hetchy (RHH) has filed a lawsuit in Tuolumne County, which if successful, would lead to the draining of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. RHH's goal is to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley, a public policy issue that has been debated for more than 100 years. If this challenge to San Francisco's operation of the Hetch Hetchy - ~

it would threaten the health,safety and economic well-being of 1.7 million residents, 30,000 businesses and thousands of community agencies in Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties who depend on this water. BAWSCA represents their water interests and its 26 member agencies, which purchase the water from the San Francisco Regional (Hetch Hetchy) System and sell it to these customers. RHH named BAWSCA as a party to the litigation and as a defendant in the lawsuit. BAWSCA will vigorously defend and protect the interests of the water customers and the member agencies it represents; including taking the necessary legal actions as well as pursuing administrative and legislative actions.

The Tuolumne River supplies 85 percent of the water deliveredby the System, and the Reservoir stores 117 billion gallons of that water to provide seasonal supply and drought reliability for the region. Draining the Reservoir, an essentialpartoftheSystem, could bea serious threat to the users who depend on it and to the California economy. Any action to drain Hetch Hetchy Reservoir or other-

wise impact the System must be preceded with a plan to protect the health, safety and economic well being of all the water users. And any such plan to protect the water usersmust provide forreliable alternativewater storage and a supply of high-quality water that is acceptable to those who use two-thirds of the water and pay two-thirds of the system's cost. The alternative storage and supply must be support ed by legally enforceable agreements addressing water rights, ownership, operating responsibilities and other critical issues. Without resolution of these issues, no alternative supply would be as reliable as the existing supply If a decision is made to provide alternative water storage, it must be in operation, and all agreements fully executed, before draining the Reservoir. Otherwise, it is likely that the alternative facilities would never be completed. BAWSCA is therefore opposed to draining the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir unless and until water users outside San Francisco, whose communities depend on the Reservoir, will be provided with water-supply reliability and water quality that are acceptable and at an acceptable cost.

Meanwhile, any such efforts must not delay the current $4.8 billion program to rebuild the Bay Area's existingearthquake-vulnerable water System, whichis scheduled for completion in 2019, and overdue maintenance of critical parts of the System, which was announced by San Francisco last year and which could extend beyond 2019. Nicole Sandkulla is chief executive ogcer of the Bay Area Water Supply and ConservationAgency.

GUEST COLUMN

Forest fire dangers the result of neglect Let me cut right to the chase. Over the pastthirtyyears,wehave seen an 80percent reduction in timber harvested from our national forests, and in the same period aconcomitant increase in acreage destroyed by fire. This phenomenon far predates the Western drought and was best summed up by a forester long ago who observed, "Allthat excess timber comes out of the forests one way or the other. It is either CARRIED OUT or it is BURNED OUT. But it comes OUT." When we carried it out, we had healthy forests and a thriving economy. Timber sales not only thinned overgrown forests, giving trees room to grow — it provided millions of dollars to the federal government with which to manage the public lands and it generated economic activity throughout forest regions from which

allowing our forests to become dangerously overcrowded and overgrown. We abandonedthe timber roads desperately needed by firefighters until they became impassable. We devastated the economies of mountain communities, requiring increasingly expensive federal financial aid, such as the Secure Rural Schools program, to make up for revenues lost to these communities. The forests are now densely overgrown, and dying trees now fight for their lives in desperate competition for crowded ground. Ironically, the endangered species in

mountain communities prospered. Often

whose name we have imposed these mis-

timber contracts included provisions to assure that the removal of commercially viableforestproductsalsopaid fortheremoval of ladder fuels that ignite destructive crown fires. Well maintained timber roads provided access toallpartsofour forests,giving the public full access to the public lands and giving firefighters an immediate way to reachthe heart ofa fire atits earliest stages. And when a fire had killed timber, we quickly removed it while it still had value, using the revenues to reforest the land before it was claimed by brush. About thirty years ago, a radical and retrogradeideology began to slowly replace modern forestry science with a policy that can best be described as benign neglect. In the name of protecting endangeredspecies,weplaced increasing tracts of land off limits to forest management,

guided policies are even bigger losers than the human population. This subcommittee has already noted the abysmal record of species recovery under the Endangered Species Act. One reason is forest fires that have resulted from these policies have incinerated hundreds of square miles of endangered species habitat. For example, the Rim Fire alone incinerated46 protected spotted owl habitats and the King Fire another 32.

To the Editor: Good taste should dictate the elimination of the use of "Redskins" as a sports mascot, but the idea that there should be a state law censoring the name is beyond bizarre. One supposes that next a lawmaker in Minnesota will introduce a bill to ban the name "Vikings," with its implication that Americans' Nordic forebearswere bloodthirsty reavers. The fact that they were bloodthirsty reavers should have no bearing on this. The name is a slander on what isnow a race ofdocile dairy farmers. Then we have the case of the

Today, the commercially viable trees are largely off limits, requiring us to pay others totreat forest acreage. And there's not enough money to make a dent in this need. The full impact of these neglectful policies can be seen in the contrast between privately managed forest lands and public. After the Rim Fire, private landowners salvaged fi re-killed trees and used a portionoftheproceeds to replant the forest. On the federal lands, the scorched trees still rot in place while six feet of dry brush accumulates around them. It will likelybe an entire century before a forest naturally occupies this land again. Time and again, we see vivid boundaries between the young, healthy, growing forests managed without these restrictions, and the choked, dying or burned public forests managed with these restrictions. Enough is enough. Today we will hear expert testimony pointing the way back to the future. We know what works and we know what doesn't. The American people want our forests returned to health. We want the growing scourge of wildfire brought back under control. We want the destruction of mountain habitats by fire, disease and pestil ence arrested and reversed.

they only have a fraction of the money needed to remove ladder fuels. Only three percent of the highest risk acreage is currently scheduled for thinning. Thirty years ago, this wasn't a problem, because timber companies paid us to thin national forest lands. They did so because they were allowed to remove a portion of the commercially viable trees.

These were Rep. Tom McClintock's o pening statements Thursday a t a n oversight hearing of the Subcommittee

on Federal Lands. McClintock, R-Twain Harte, represents the Mother Lode.

"Celtics," depicted on the Boston basketball team's logo as truculent, bandy-legged bog trotters. Those of us of Irish lineage find this grievously hurtful, as our ancestors, like the American Indians, were subjected to a genocidal campaign by the British. Where is the bill to ban this slander on the sons of Erin? Shall we t hen eliminate all ethnic sports mascots? Or shall we recognize that Assemblyman Luis Alejo's bill is simply politically correct grandstanding and a clear-cut violation of the First

Amendment to the Constitution. Still, "Redskins," unlike mascot names that honor noble Indian tribes, like Florida State's "Seminoles," is offensive and it should go. Let us suggest that if Calaveras High School wants a monicker that suggests aggression, like the Celtic, or rapaciousness, like the Viking, it employ a name that will instill fear in any opponent, indeed, any Californian — 'The Legislators."

College sex assault bill passes S ACRAMENTO — T h e California Senate has passed a bill that would allow community colleges to expel or suspend students who are accused of sexual assault even if the attack happened off campus. Senators on Monday unanimously passed SB186 by Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, a Santa Barbara Democrat. Jackson says she learned that community c olleges can't suspend or expel a student unless the sexual assault happened on campus or at campus-related events. The bill expands the definitionofgood cause totakedisciplinary action. Republican Sen. Jean Fuller from Bakersfield said she

Smith w a s co n victed of torturing an d k i l l ing 20-year-old Lori Sinner during a 1998 camping trip. The court upheld Smith's murder conviction.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — As the death toll &om Nepal's devastating earthquake climbed past 4,000, aid workers and offic ials in remote, shattered villages near the epicenter pleaded Monday for food, shelter and medicine. Help poured in after Saturday's magnitude-7.8 quake, with countries large and small sending medical and rescue teams, aircraft and basic supplies. The small airport in the capital of Kathmandu was congested and chaotic, with some flights forced to turn back early in the day. Buildings in parts of the city were reduced to rubble, and there were shortages offood, fuel,electricity and shelter.As bodies were recovered, relativescremated the dead along the Bagmati River, and at least a dozen pyres burned late into the night. Conditions were far worse in the countryside, with rescue workers still struggling to reach mountain villages two days after the earthquake. Some roads and trails to the Gorkha dis-

trict, where the quake was centered, were blocked by landslides — but also by trafiic jams that regularly clog the route north of Kathmandu. 'There are people who are not getting food and shelter.I've had reports ofvillages where 70 percent of the houses have been destroyed," said Udav Prashad Timalsina, the top official for the Gorkha region. World Vision aid worker Matt Darvas arrived in the district in the afternoon and saidalmost no assistance had reached there ahead of him. Newer concrete buildings were intact, Darvas said, butsome villages were reported to be devastated. He cited a "disturbing" report from the village of Singla, where up to 75 percent of the buildings may have collapsed and there has been no contact since Saturday night. Timalsina said 223 people had been confirmed dead in Gorkha district but he presumed "thenumber would go up because there are thousands who are injured."

This year's Gold Nugget award went to Columbia State Historic Park and the Grand Lodge of Free and AcceptedMasons of California for its updated exhibit. The exhibit was renovated in 2013. The refurbishing and curating of the exhibit tell the story of the Freemasons and their oath ofloyalty in the Gold Rush era, a time of chaos, fervor, and vigilante law and order. The existing building is a reconstructionof a previous Masonic Hall that was demolished in the 1890s after the wane of the Gold Rush. The building was completed in 1949 aRer the creation of Columbia State Historic Park in 1945. The 2013 renovation updated the exhibit, which had changed little since the 1960s.

Historically, canning was developed to preservesummer's bounty and extend food availability all year long to prevent seasonal starvation. Canned foods contain the same important nutrientssometimes even more — as fresh foods, and they can help you fit more fruits, vegetablesand seafood into your diet at a lower cost.

Many consumers desire fresh over canned foods, but it doesn't always make nutritional — o r s easonal — sense. "Fresh produce can lose lots of nutrients, especially during the winter when it travels hundreds or thousands of miles to get to your grocer, where it then sits on the shelf until you buy it," said registered dietician Elizabeth Ward, author of "My Plate for Moms."

I have absolutely zero interestin football, basketball, or baseball— so for me, gatherings a r o und g ame days are a l l about the food. The spread always includes a few of the grubby, nostalgic snacks we grew up with — cheesy queso dip, I'm looking at you — as well as some fiesher, lighter snacks that often incorporate flavors from one of the many international cuisines that surround us here in California. You're looking at my contribution right now: a Korean take on the usual pulled-meat slider; a juicy sandwich loaded with gingery, chile spiked shredded chicken and tender kale braised with garlicky kimchi. These sliders were inspired by a simple meal made by T he Kitchn's own Faith Durand. The recipe featured a one-sheet-pan

Some fresh vegetables, such as spinach and green beans, lose up to 75 percent of their vitamin C within seven days of harvest.

Pea shoots a quick fix for dinner By MARIO BATALI Tribune Content Agency

Pea shoots, a newer ingredient showing up in farmers' markets across America, have long been prominent in other cultures, like Asian cuisine. With tendrils in the shape of curly-cues and leaves soft like potherbs, watery-stemmed pea shoots ensure the promise of spring peas to come.

Offering the flavor of peas, their edibleshoots are almost more appealing to farmers and gardeners because they can be harvested in a quarter of the time of peas themselves. And apart from flavor, See BATALI/Page B2

Trim off and discard any tough ends of the pea tendrils. Rinse the trimmed pea greens in cold water and then drain them. Do not use a spinner; you want to retain some water on the leaves. In a 14-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the garlic, scallions and almonds all at once and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic and almonds start to turn golden brown.

nvovemen in siser's marria esus ec DEAR ANME: I believe my sister's husband, "Roy," is having an affair. He and I have been flirting for several years, and we've had several occasions where we could have been together, but because of my sister, we never have. My sister's marriage has been troubled for years. The two of them livetogether,butin separate rooms. They haven't been intimate for ages. My sister also has some health issues. Roy has said many times that the two of them should be able to see other people. Recently, I saw Roy with some younger woman, and the way they were looking at each other, I knew they were more than friends. He has never looked at my sister that way. We do alot ofthings together as a family. During our most recent family weekend, Roy kept taking off alone. I believe Roy knows that I'm aware of his aflair, even though

law in the past raises questions about your motives now. Your sister may be ehoosing not to confront her husband's behavior, and that is up to her. Please try t o b e e motionally he hasn't said anything. I'm pretty supportive of w h atever path sure my sister already knows and she takes to deal with this. Be is hurting. She barely speaks to him a shoulder to lean on when she and spends most of her time with needs one. You don't have to do her grandchildren. They both act as more. though nothing has happened.

age to ask for your number and didn't have enough in reserve to actually call. Or he may have been teased by hisfriends and pretended that it was a joke to save face. Or he may be less interested than you hoped. There's no way to know unless you take the next step yourself. We know it's diffieult, so imagine a negative result — he t u rns down your request for his number. So? At least you'll know he's not the guy for you, and you can put it behind you.

Estrogen use has its risks and rewards DEAR DR. ROACH:Recently you

To Your Good Health

wrote about estrogen. I starting tak-

ing Premarin when I was 50 years old, some 28yearsago.Iwasswitchedover to estradiol 0.5 mg when my insurance carrierno longer paid for Premarin, about three years ago. I received my last supply in April 2014 and reduced the dose to half a tablet. I did have menopausal symptoms for several months, but these have dissipated. I want to continue on estradiol, but the insurance company is giving me a hard time because ofrecent data re-

garding estrogen use and increased riskofheartdisease and stroke.Ihad my uterusand ovaries removed 15 years ago. I am otherwise healthy. But because of my age, I am more vulnerabletocertain diseases.Iam convinced that the extra intake of an estrogen compound has beneficial effects for me. I would like to make my own decision as to whether I am ready to accept certain risks to maintain what I feel keeps me looking and feeling young.— B.B. ANSWER: Estradiol, the primary form of estrogen made by healthy

Keith Roach, M.D. young women, has both good and bad effects, as I mentioned in my previous column. However, in a woman without a uterus who has been taking it without progesterone since menopause,

therisks areprobably assm allasthey can be. Some data show that there is no increasedrisk ofeither heart disease orbreast cancer,although there certainly is an increased risk of blood clotting. There are benefits to the bone and a reduction in colon cancer risk. I feelvery strongly that insurance companies should not be making health-care decisions. All people, having a good understanding of the risks and benefits of medication, ought to be able to make up their own mind. However, I have to ask where your doctoris in this whole process.Have you discussed with your doctor your

individual risk? Why isn't he or she working with the insurance company? No expert organization recommends estrogen-replacement therapy just to prevent disease. However, if aftera discussion you decide to continue on estradiol and your doctor prescribes it, you don't need the insurance company if you are willing to buy it yourself. It's available from large pharmacies for $10 for a three-month supply. DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband was admitted to the hospital several months ago with poor heart function and only10 percent kidney function. He has been on dialysis three times a week since then. We have been inquiring for several months about his current kidney function, and we cannot get an answer. We are just curious as to whether there has been any improvement. — S.K ANSWER: Dialysis is a way of replacing kidney function when the kid-

waste products, such as creatinine and

potassium, which would otherwise increase in concentration in the blood. High potassium is life-threatening, and creatinine, though not dangerous, is the molecule we look at most commonly to estimate kidney function. Very rarely, kidney function can return even after a prolonged time on dialysis .Ihave neverseen a case,but one study showed two cases per thousand wheredialysiscould be stopped. The clue that kidney function was returning was that urine output, which normally is scant while on hemodialysis, had increased over time. Unfortunately, 99.8 percent of the time, the kidney failure is permanent. Dr. Roach regretsthat he is unable to answer individual letters,but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

TOdayin hiStOry Today is Tuesday, April 28, the 118th day of 2015. There are 247 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 28, 1945, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans as they attempted to flee the country. On this date: In 1789, there was a mutiny on the HMS Bounty as rebelling crew members of the British ship, led by Fletcher Christian, set the captain, William Bligh, and 18 others adrift in a launch in the South Pacific. (Bligh and most of the men with him reached Timor in 47 days.) In 1925, the International Exposition of Modern lndustrial and Decorative Arts, which gave rise to the term "Art Deco," began a sixmonth run in Paris. In 1940, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra recorded "Pennsylvania 6-5000" for RCA Victor. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered U.S. Marines to the Dominican Republic to protect American citizens and interests in the face of a civil war. Barbra Streisand's first TV special, "My Name Is Barbra," aired on CBS. In 1974, a federal jury in New York acquitted former Attorney General John Mitchell and former Commerce Secretary Maurice H. Stans of charges in connection with a secret $200,000 contribution to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign from financier Robert Vesco. In 1988, a flight attendant was killed and more than 60 persons injured when part of the roof of an Aloha Airlines Boeing 737 tore off during a flight from Hilo (HEE'-loh) to Honolulu. In 1990, the musical "A Chorus Line" closed after 6,137 performances on Broadway.

By KAREN ANSEL, MS, R and LORI LONGBOTHAM EatingWell

This wonderful, rich, sweet lemon pound cake is downright zingy and the candied lemon slices are a beautiful bittersweet topping that's better than frosting. The best part, though, is when you taste it you won't miss all the butter we cut out compared with a traditional pound cake recipe.

I.emon Pound Cake Makes 12 servings Preparation time: 3 1/2 hours 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour or white wholewheat flour (see notes) 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 large lemons, divided 11/4 cups sugar, divided 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), at room temperature 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature 3 large egg whites, at room temperature (see notes) 1 large egg, at room temperature 1/2 cup reduced-fat milk

lemons (see notes); set the lemons aside. Beat 3/4 cup sugar, cream cheese, butter and the zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-highspeed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the egg and beat well. Reduce speed tomedium and beat in milk; the mixture will look curdled.

the sides and turn the cake out onto the rack. While the cake is cooling, squeeze5 tablespoons juice from the zested lemons. Trim the ends off the remaining whole lemon and very thinly slice; discard any seeds. Heat the lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon slices and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Use a fork to transfer the lemon slices to a bowl. Continue simmering the syrup until slightly thickened and beginning to turn golden yellow, 2 to 4 minutes. Set the rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Poke holes all over the top of the warm cake with a wooden skewer, 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Spoon the glaze over

the cake, poking more holes if the glaze does not sink in. Arrange the lemon slices on top. Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Recipe notes: Wholewheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular w hole-wheat flour a n d helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Find it at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and naturalfoods stores and online at www.bobsredmill.com or www.kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer. To bring an egg to room temperature, either set it out on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge it (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes. When we call for citrus zest (e.g., 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest) we are referring to the finely grated outer rind (not including the white pith) of the citrus fruit. Use a microplane grater or the smallest holes of a box grater to grate the zest. In some cases we call for long strips or threads of zest. To get long strips, peel the citrus with a vegetable peeler. To remove long threads, use a 5-hole citrus zester or remove long strips of zest with a vegetable peeler, then use a knife to cut into very thin strips.

edamame, ginger

By Nl<~s'Y DOZIER TribuneContent Agency

I struggledfor yearswith cooking a simple pot of rice. Even after culinary school, where teacherspractically drilled the water-to-rice ratio into our brains, mine still came out crispy, crunchy, mushy or burnt. Thankfully, a friend pointed me to Alton Brown's recipe for red beans and rice, noting that it changed the way she cooked rice forever. The method, which calls for toasting rice in a skillet and then pouring boiling water over the top, turned out the most fluffy, perfectly cooked rice I had ever tasted. There are a few reasons why this method works. Toasting the rice enhances its flavors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just like when we toast spices or nutsand I personally find it improves the finished texture of the dish. Secondly, by boiling water separately and then pouring it over the rice to simmer, you eliminate any guesswork. One of the problems I find with rice is that, depending on the size of the pot and the strength of the burner, the amount of time it requires to come to a

boil can vary greatly. This means the overall cooking time is going to vary significantly as a result. Brown's method means cooking time is the same, no matter your stove. (Brilliant, right?) The last, and very important, step is to rest the rice for 10 minutes off the heat. This allows the moisture to redistribute, keeping the rice supple and soft. Once the rice has rested, fluff it gently with a fork, but do not keep stirring or you could end up with mush.

Add the rice, shallot, ginger, and kosher salt and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted and aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the edamame, then pour the boiling water over the rice. Stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low to low and cook for exactly 20 minutes (add an extra 5 minutes if c ooking brown rice). Remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for an additional 10 minutes to allow rice to rest. Uncover, fluff gently with a fork and add more salt and pepper to taste.

After sweeping the New Orleans Pelicans out of the playoffs, Golden State has seven days between games — and maybe more — before facing Memphis or Portland in the second round. "I think this week off is perfect, " Kerr said."It gives us a chance to take a breather, enjoy the fact that we're 71-15,what a great year it's been and let's keep it moving. We'll have all week to prepare and get our bodies right, think about what we've accomplished and think about what's to come." If Memphis closes out Portland in six games or fewer, the Warriors will open at home against the Grizzlies on Sunday. Otherwise the Warriors will start the second round May 5. The Grizzlies lead the series 3-1 after losing Monday night in Portland. Game 5 is Wednesday in Memphis. Kerr said the biggest challenge is s~ a b a l ance between rest and rhythm, and he has more experience than most rookie coaches on this matter. He routinely received extended time off between rounds during his days playing alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls and under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. Kerr plans to work his players inpractice to avoid rust. The Warriors went through a light practice Monday, will

The Bret Harte coed swim team beat both Amador and Argonaut Friday afternoon in Angels Camp in its final Mother Lode League meet of the season. The girls team defeated Argonaut 113-53 and Amador 107-49 while the boys won 113-53 and 107-49, respectively. The girls finished the season in second-place behind Sonora with an 8-2 record, and the boys tied Sonora for first-place with a 9-1 overall record. "The last couple of meets have been all about our younger swimmers really stepping up and swimming their best times," said Bret Harte head coach Lauren Gerber. "For most of them, this is their first time with our training program and their first time being a part of a taper program, and they are starting to see the benefits, feeling faster, and seeing their times droop. It make for happy swimmers, which make for happy coaches." Bullfrogs Austin Qualls (left) andTaylor Pierce (top right) compete in separate breststroke events.

PURDY Continued from PageCl gardless of what we do, we feel good about our plan." McKenzie's best q u ote: "You're not going to get a whole lot of information from me." You getthe fl avor.But despite the tight-lipped front, I did manage to draw some observations about what the draft means to our Bay Area f ranchises at t hi s p oint i n

their history — and some clues about what a successful or unsuccessful draft could mean

for the men in charge: For different reasons, this week is one of the most critical drafts in Baalke's and McKenzie's careers. For the 49ers and Baalke, this will be their first chance to put some real meat on the bones of the post-Jim-Harbaugh era and give fans something to talk about rather than the endless tape loop about how that epic meltdown between coach and &ont office transpired. And on the Raiders' side of the bay, let's be blunt: McKenzie won't get another chance to do a draftifhe doesn'tdo this one right.

Deep insights may have been minimal, but at least Baalke is open about his general philosophy in acquiring players, to wit: "We want to be big, we want to be physical. We want to be built for late season play.... We want big corners, want a big offensive line ... I like big everything." By contrast, even as McKenzie approaches his fourth draft as RaidersG.M., it's di%cult to pin down his overarching approach. He seems to pick the best player on his scouting reports in each round, regardless of how his distinct i n dividual q u alities might fit into the overall game plan. That can sometimes work. But in my book, it isn't usually the best way to go. Why? Thanks for asking. I'll tell you why. My feeling is, an NFL general manager falls intoone of two categories:He

is a Guy With A Stopwatch. Or he is an Architect. I prefer the Architect model. I should probably explain. A strong-functioning organization decides how it wants to play football — i.e., physically dominating opponents with big players, or outrunning them with fast players, or outsmarting them with unique players who have unique attributes. The organization then takes that philosophy, hires coaches who can coach that style and players who can play that style. That takes an architect. By contrast, organizations headed up by a

Ikl 4g

Guy With A Stopwatch are obsessed with finding players who have the top physical or mental attributes and pick them without regard for how they will fit into any particular architecture. They rely on the head coach to figure out the best way to use those players and hope it all works out. So far, I see McKenzie as more of a Guy With A Stopwatch than as an Architect. If you examine his drafts, McKenzie has been all over the place, taking players who scoreout astalented butdon't particularly fit into any specific system. Baalke, on the other hand, has generally (but not 100 percent) stuck with his &amework to select players who are big and enjoy physical contact. I am not saying that a Guy With A Stopwatch cannot succeed. I just don't think it happens as often. Scot McCloughan, who was Baalke's predecessor with the 49ers, providesone example. McCloughan was a great Guy With A Stopwatch, drafting talent such as Vernon Davis, Joe Staley and Patrick Willis. But the team had trouble winning. That's because the coaches — Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary — weren't always aligned with the system properly. You want an example? Remember how in 2005, Nolan tried to make Alex Smith into a franchise quarterback as a rookie? Smith didn't find his solid footing until Baalke and

Harbaugh took over in 2011 and surrounded the quarterback with an entire roster that successfully recast him as an important kog in more of a g r inder-type o6'ense. Baalke drafted players who fit that architecture. Harbaugh coached it — well, until last season, when Baalke clearly thought the coaches were trying to do too much fancy stuff with quarterback Colin Kaepernick outside the architecture. That's not the only reason Harbaugh was told he wouldn't return. But it was a significant dynamic. The Raiders have a chance to do a similar recasting with new coach Jack Del Rio on board. We don't know exactly yet how he wants the Raiders to play. But McKenzie should. And he must draft to fit that architecture. Last week, I asked McKenzie and Del Rio to give me their opinions about what percentageofplayerson the current Raiders roster fit the way they want to play. Both men declined to answer. But we'll receive an indication later this week when we see the sort of players they pick — and which positionsthey are expected to step into and replace on the depth chart. The draft is a truth serum that way. This

weekend, both the 49ers and Raiders will pour the serum onto their spoons and swallow. Mark Purdy is a sports columnist for the San Jose Mercury News.

Raiders eye pass

Packers to retire Farve's rusher, WR in draft jersey on Thanksgiving ALAIMEDA (AP) — The two biggest needs for the Oakland Raiders heading into free agency remain the two most important going into the NFL draft. So it m akes sense that when general manager Reggie McKenzie makes his first pick Thursday when the Raidershave the fourth overallselection that the choice will either be a bigplay receiver or pass rusher. Both of those positions oAer plenty of options at the top of the draft with Alabama's Amari Cooper and West Virginia's Kevin White considered the top receivers on the board and Southern California's Leonard Williams and Florida's Dante Fowler Jr. among the best pass rushers. After yearsof poor drafts, the Raiders started building their foundation last year with first-round linebacker Khalil Mack, who quickly became one ofthe top players at his position, and Derek Carr, who showed signs of being the player to end the revolving door at quarterback in Oakland. Guard Gabe Jackson and cornerback TJ Carrie also were key contributorsasrookies. Much of the focus in free agency

came in trying to strengthen the runninggame and run defense.Butthe Raiders did not add a pass rusher and the only receiver signed in free agency was Michael Crabtree,who ism ore ofa possession player than big-play threat. Here are some things to watch forthe Raiders atthe draft: Cooper or White: Despite the positives forCarrasarookie,heonly averaged5.5yards per attempt as he toooften settled for shortthrows with no big-play receiver on the roster. Oakland hasn't had a receiver top 1,000 yards in a season since Randy Moss did it in 2005. Adding the polished Cooper or the more athletic White could solve that problem immediately. Trade winds: McKenzie has shown the willingness to trade down with his top pick to get extra selections. Two years ago, he dealt the third pick to Miami for No. 12 and a second-rounder. While his selections of cornerback DJ Hayden and T Menelik Watson haven't panned out yet, it doesn't mean McKenzie wouldn't be willing to do a similar deal again. McKenzie said he has already gotten calls from teams with interest in the fourth pick.

it started with his ability to run and catch the ball. He's sneaky athletic and pretty skilled for a big guy." Blaine and his assistant coaches began talking with not only Morningstar, but also Critchfield. There was no bigger supporter of Morningstar than Critchfield, and he let it be known they had their eye on an under-looked player. "I told them that I thought he has a tremendous upside and a lot of potential," Critchfield said. "He can rebound, run the fioor, is aggressive, and his offensive skill will come along the more he plays. I made sure to tell them that he is a remarkable young man with great character and great integrity, and that it was a pleasure to coach him." Clarke, a division III school, is seeded with NAIA division II teams, but in 2016-17 will transfer to NAIA division I, (which is equivalent to NCAA division II) and will join the Heart of America Conference. The change of division, and the potential play againststronger opponents is something that helped push Morningstar towards Clarke, but that wasn't the only reason that he chose to become a Crusader. "One of the things that drew me to Clarke was they are also giving me the opportunity to try out for the baseball team," Morningstar said. "I haven't played baseball since high school and I really miss playing. Not a lotofpeople gettheopportunity to playtwo sportsata four-yearcollege, so that would be something really special." Morningstar's numbers at Butte do not jump off the page, but he has two good knees and Critchfield feels he has the talent to help any prograni succeed. "He is going to be a better player at Clarke than here because he's only going to continue to improve," Critchfield said. "He has the experienceofplaying here for two years and that will help him there. I think his offensive game will expand and he will have a good opportunity to have quality minutes at Clarke. As he gets betterand better,hisgame is goingtoblossom. Hisbestbasketball is in front of him. In my opinion, he's a steal. A lot of coaches get caught up in stats and don't see beyond that. Clarke did their homework and they got areally good player." Morningstar has won a hoops championship in each of the last three seasons, and doesn't plan on anything less at Clarke. In the next two years, he hopes to continue his winning ways. "My senior year, I won the section title at Summerville, and won backto-back Golden Valley Conference championships at Butte," Morningstarsaid."So in two years, besides finishing my education, I want to have two more championships. I want to keep that trend going." Blaine knows that he is not only getting a quality basketball player coming to Clarke, but even more importantly, he is getting a quality human being. "He is intelligent, polite, and he treated his mom very well, and that stuck out to me," Blaine said. "That told me alot about his character.I was trying to get Connor to sign before he left Dubuque, but he wanted to talk to his dad first, which I respected. Now that he's cominghere, I hope that in two years we have a solid post-player at the NAIA division I level. I think he has that potential, and also to be even better than that."

Baltimore postponed BALTIMORE (AP) The Baltimore Orioles' home game against the Chicago White Sox was postponed Monday night because of safety concerns after riots broke out near Camden Yards following the funeral of Freddie Gray. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, at the stadium for a previously planned visit, said Tuesday night's game between the Orioles and White Sox couldbe moved — possibly to Nationals Park in Washington — if safety continued to be an issue. Rioters looted stores and threw rocks and bricks at Baltimore police about three miles from the stadium in the wake of the mysterious death of Gray. He died April 19 after suffering a severe spinal injury in police custody. The Orioles announced the postponement about 40 minutes before gametime. About 1,000 fans were inside the stadium at the time, and many gates already had been dosed. The team said the game was called off after consultation with police. The White Sox were in Balti-

Continued from PcgeC1 Summerville, the Bears went 15-0 in the Mother Lode League, were 26-4 overall, and capped their season by winning the school's first ever blue banner,beating Liberty Ranch 6352 for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV championship at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento. Morningstar scored double digits 10 times that season and pulled down 149 rebounds to go along with 206 points. He said it was his high school coach, Ben Watson, who best prepared him for the next level. "Watson is one of the best coaches I have ever had,"Morningstar said. "From beinga coach tobeing a m entor, he helped me out in so many different ways. He never let us have an excuse at practice, and that helped me at the next level. There are no excuses with Watson. You had to

play hard and that has helped me at Butte. He taught us a lot of toughness."

Following graduation, Morningstar moved north to Oroville, to attend Butte College. There, he helped his team win back-to-back Golden Valley Conference championships. "I have had nothing but good times playing at Butte," Morningstar said. "I love my teammates and all my coaches. It has been a great

m ore for the startofa three-

experience and I wouldn't trade it for

game series. Prior to the game, Orioles players gathered around a television in the ciubhouse and watched the violence unfold. Police blocked off

the world." Winning the GVC championship his sophomore season did not come without a price. Morningstar had a torn meniscus in his left knee, and opted not to have season-ending surgery and battled through the pain. "He played all year with a knee that needed repair, and he got that done at the end of the season because he didn't want to miss any games," said Butte head coach Russ Critchfield. "He wanted to play with his teammates, and he wanted to continue to help the team win games. His toughness is remarkable, especially with the injury he had. His teammates respected him for that, and I know the coaching staff did as well." Morningstar started only one game his sophomore season, but was a terrific role player, scoring 96 points and pulling down 74 rebounds. At 6-foot-8, Morningstar has the height and the work ethic to improve every time he steps on the

"Connor is such a hard worker and has a high-energy level," Critchfield said. "He's athletic and long, and his perseveranceto get better has always been there. He has worked hard and done everything he needed to do to get better. He defends and rebounds really well. He has an incredible attitude and he had a large part in us winning the conference." Morningstar began looking for the next chapter in his life as his time at Butte started to come to an end and Clarke University came calling. For head coach Jim Blaine, Morningstar was a player that he had to have on his team. 'The first thing we were looking forissize,sothatgrabbed our attention right off the bat," said Blaine. "We saw him on a couple of different videos, and one of the first things that caught my eyes was that he ran the floor very well. He also has good hands, which I liked. He is pretty skilled and I think he can step out to 15-feet and make a shot there. But

Mock draR:3ameisWinston to Bucs tostart NFLdraft NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL draft heads to Chicago this year, with the top overall choice in our mock draft not planning to be on hand. No matter: Tampa Bay will already have let ils selection know when the crowd in the Windy City gets, uh, wind of the pick. Bamng trades, a mock look at Thursday night's first round: 1. Tampa Bay (2-14) Player character and behavior should be even more of a deciding issue in this year's draft. The Bucs, desperate for a quarterback, say they are convinced the guy they choose is not a bad apple and is a great prospect....Jameis Winston, QB Rorida St. 2. Tennessee Titans(2-14) Do the Titans also go QB, or pull the trigger on a trade with someone eager to move up to get one? Hard to believe they see sixth-rounder Zach Mettenberger as the real deal, but they also love this crop's top defensive player, Leonard Williams. Barring a deal ...Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon 3. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-13) The Jaguars are going defense here no matter who goes in the first two slots. And that best defensive player is available ...Leonard Williams, DE-DT, Southem California 4. Oakland Raiders (3-13) Al Davis would be proud of the folks now running his team if they select a breakaway threat receiver — exactly what he wouldhave done. Philosophy hasn'tchanged much in Oakland....Kevin White, WR, West Virginia 5. Washington Redskins (4-12) Like Jacksonville, the Redskins are thinking defense, defense, defense. Perfect for a team representing Washington. ... Dante Fowler Jr., LB, Rotfda 6. New York Jets (4-12) Did we mention that many teams at the top of these proceedings are eager to bolster their defense? And will we mention it again? Uh, yeah...Vic Beasley, LB, Clemson 7. Chicago Bears (5-11) Trading Brandon Marshall to the Jets opened the door for one of the college wideouts to blow into Chicago and start. Receiver is a deep position in this draft, and the Bears bite immediately....Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama 8. Atlanta Falcons (6-10) Yes, we're beginning to sound repetitive on this, but defense is the focal point again. The Falcons can score, but they allowed 417 points last season.... Shane Ray, DE, Missouri 9. New York Giants (6-10) Eli Manning needs time to find his strong corps of receiveis, especially 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year Odell Beckham Jr. Eli isn't one to plead for a solid blocker, but he'll get the best one in the draft, a former teammate of Beckham. ... la'ef Collins, OT, LSU 10. St. Louis Rams (6-10) Another team on the prowl for behemoths in the trenches. There are several enticing prospech even with Collins gone, and the Rams find one....Brandon Scherff, F, OT, lowa 11. Minnesota Vikings (T4) While eager to help young QB Teddy Bridgewater by grabbing an offensive weapon, the Vikings also are looking for pieces in their secondary. The first DB flies off the board. ... Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan St. 12. Cleveland Browns (7-9) One of their two first-roundeis, the Browns could package to move up. But if they stay put, they can get an impact player to help their rushing defense, which is porous....Danny Shelton, DT, Washington 13. New Orleans Saints (TW) As the Saints ponder their pick — yep, defense once again — they debate the character issue. Outside linebacker Randy Gregory has tested positive for marijuana; Kentucky's Bud Dupree has a solid rep. Not an easy dedsion in the Big Easy.... Randy Gregory, LB, Nebraska 14. Miami Dolphins (84) Pretty strong need here for a wideout with deep speed, but there are plenty of those in this crop. So the Dolphins wait for the second round to address that area, and go for another 0-line building block....Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford 15. San Francisco 49ers ($8) At some point, the Niners will take a linebacker (or two) and a wideout (or two). For now, they can help themselves on the defensive line, which could use some bulking up.... Arik Armslaad, DT, Oregon 16. Houston Texans (9-T) The best player in franchise history, Andre Johnson, is gone. The huge hole in the receMng corps, if not in the locker room itself, gets filled by the top remaining wideout.... Devante Parker, WR, Louisville 17. San Diego Chargers (9-7) Tempted to take an RB here, the Chargers also could trade down and still get one. If they stay put, the 0-line has needs better addressed at this spot....Ereck Rowers, OT, Miami, Fla. 18. Kansas City Chiefs (9-T) A wideoutmakes sense here and Parkerwould have fi t nicely. He's gone, so the Chiefs mull taking a blocker, but then remember they had zero — yep, zero — TD catches from wide receivers last year....Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona St. 19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo Bills) P4) Having filled a big need with Shelton, the Browns look to replace Josh Gordon; does anyone expect his future to be in Cleveland if he retums to the NFL? ...Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF 20. Philadelphia Eagles (106) If you think the first 19 picks were tricky, well, no one has a clue what Chip Kelly might do. He could make a megadeal in pursuit of his college QB, Mariota. He could trade down from here, maybe more than once. He could ... never mind. ... Landon Collins, S, Alabama 21. Cincinnati Bengals (105-1) Either line would make sense, as would linebacker. The choice could come down to the higher-rated guy in the trenches. We think that will be.... Malcolm Brown, DT, Texas 22. Pittsburgh Staefers (11W) The Steel Curtain is a bit tattered, with holes in a lot of places. That's blasphemy in Pittsburgh, so the Steelers plug up one of those chasms immediately....Jalen Collins, CB, LSU 23. Detroit Lions (11-5) Both incumbent DTs are gone, saving the Lions a ton of money, but leaving them wilhout much proven tonnage inside. They work immediately to help replace Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley....Eddie Goldman, DT, Rorida St. 24. Arizona Cardinals (11W) For a playoff squad, the Cardinals have lots of spots to fill or strengthen. Boosting the running game as QBs Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton work their way back from injuries is a starting point for the NFL's best-coached team....Todd Gurfey, RB, Georgia 25. Carolina Panthers (74)-1) Someone on the offensive line is headed for Charlotte. The Panthers have several options here, and will go for versatility and a proven winner.... Cameron Erving, OI„ Florida St 26. Baltimore Ravens (106) Guys who catch the ball and guys who prevent receptions are needed in Baltimore. Not as many standout cornerbacks remain as receivers, but don't expect the Ravens to go for a player with character issues such as Marcus Peters.... Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest 27. Dallas Cowboys (12P) Had Gudeybeen on the board,Dall as would have dived in. He's gone, but there is plenty of RB talent available in later rounds, so defense isthe wordoncemore....Shaq Thomspon, L, Washington 28. Denver Broncos (124) Peyton Manning's late-season inlury and the impact it had on theBroncos means fi nding someone to help keep him upright is paramount — even if this turns into his final season....T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh 29. Indianapolis Colts (11W) Manning's former team also could use improvement on theoff ensive line,and needs to address the secondary. The best remaining prospect is a blocker, so ...... DJ. Humphries, OT, Florida 30. Green Bay Packers (12R) The Packers need to target linebacker so they don't have to move Clay Matthews inside like they did last season. Several good ones remain, but the only true inside backer is ...... Bemardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi St. 31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattfe Seahawks) (7-9) If the Saints stay put here, they'll stick with the defensive philosophy and tag a brilliant athlete who has risen up the drafi boardsthis off season....Byron Jones,CB,Connecticut 32. New England Patriots (12A) And if the Patriots stay put here, they also will address the secondary after losing Darrefie Revis and Brandon Browner. Bill Belichick doesn't seem to mind players with character issues in their past, either....Marcus Peters, CB, Washington

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)The Green Bay Packers will give than4 to Brett Favre during their Thanksgiving night game. The Packers announced Monday whathadbeenlongexpected: Favre's darkgreen No. 4 jersey will be unveiled on the north facade of Lambeau Field at haHbme of theNov.26 game against the Chicago Bears. The Packers and Bears have the NFL's longest-running series,dating to 1921. Favre played for the Packers against the Bears 32 times in his storied career, going 22-10. The ceremony will come more than seven years after Favre's contentious breakup with the team he quarterbacked for 16 seasons. After waffiing on retirement for severalyears,Favre held atearful goodbye news conference in 2008 only to ask to come back m onths laterand force a trade to the New York Jets. The following year, he was wooed by another one of his original division rivals, the Minnesota Vikings to further the rift with the Packers. In two games at Lambeau Field with the visiting team, Favre was booed loudly, winning there in 2009 and losing in 2010.

Redskins to pick up option on Grifhn III ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Despite Robert GriSn III's his& ry of injuries and moves in and out of the lineup, the Washington Redskinsplan to exercise the quarterback's fifth-year contractoption for the 2016 season.

New general manager Scot McCloughan opened his predraft news conference Monday by saying the Redskins will inform the NFL ahead of the deadline that they will pick up their option for the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, which is worth about $16 million. After being taken by Washington with the No. 2 overall pick in that year's draftthanks to a trade with the St. Louis Rams — the Heisman Trophy winner threw for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns and ran for 815 yards and another seven scores, helping win the NFC East. But GrifBn tore ligaments in his knee in a playoff game against Seattle that season. Grifmn also dislocated his ankle last season, missing six

weeks. And he was benched late in the 2013 season by then-coach Mike Shanahan, and again last season by coach Jay Gruden. The Redskins have three quarterbacks signed for 2015: Griffin, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy. All started at times last season, when Washing(nn went 4-12.

Peterson absent but still wanted back byVikings EDEN PRABUE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have reconvened from their winter break, with most of the rosterassembled at team headquartersfor daily strength and c onditioning workouts. Adrian Peterson, of course,

has been conspicuously missiilg.

The star running back rarely participated in the offseason activities that weren't contractually required in the past, preferring to prepare with his personal trainer in Houston where he lives. That's the case again this year. The difference now? Peterson has said he doesn't want

to return to the Vikings. He was recently reinstated by the NFL from the suspension for the child abuse ~ that kept him off the field for all but one game last season, but hispreference isto startfresh elsewhere. Peterson has three years and $45 million remaining on his contract, but none of that money is guaranteed. From team owners to front

offic e executives to the coaching staf to the players up and down the roster, the Vikings have repeatedlypromised to welcome Peterson back to the team after his unexpected 2014 hiatus.
